Cassia powder looks a bit like henna, and is sometimes known as "colourless henna" or " blonde henna" But cassia is not henna - it comes from a totally different plant.
If cassia is mixed into a paste and used immediately it has a conditioning effect only and does not give a colour.
If Cassia is soaked in lemon juice it can give a golden tint to blonde, light grey or light-coloured hair.
As with all natural hair colourants the colour is different on different people's hair and a strand test is necessary first to avoid a surprise.
Ingredients: Organic Cassia Auriculata Powder.
Mixing Cassia With Henna for a Strawberry Blonde Effect
You can mix cassia with a small amount of henna to achieve a strawberry blonde colour See more pictures and instructions for achieving strawberry blonde with cassia and henna (including before and after pictures) here
Cassia on its own is not a very strong blonde colour. Mixing Cassia with Henna gives the cassia more depth of colour. Soaking both the cassia and henna together in something acid is necessary to bring out this colour effect.
